Oxo Good Grips 15-by21-Inch Cutting Board, Black Edge Review

The board looked great when it arrived.
Here's the bad news.
You cannot see in the photo but the board has four very small pegs
on each corner. These "grips" create a thin space between the board and the counter.
Although the board does not slip, it causes the board to "bounce
back" after each chop because it is not flush with the counter.
I would not recommend the product for this reason.

Chef's Planet Citrus Juicer White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been juicing lemons a lot lately, and I had a little 3 part gadget that had a bottom, a middle piece that had the pointed juicer part, and strainer to catch seeds, and then a rounded top that you would use to push the fruit down on to the juicer. It only worked OK, and was a pain to clean. Then I saw a Cooks Illustrated How To cookbook, and they talk about techniques they try and like, and the best method they found for juicing was a manual one(theirs was wood), so I started looking for one, and found this. I have used it several times since, and it is amazing! The juice just pours out! I love the round handle, very comfortable in my palm. I just use a small strainer over my measuring cup to catch any seeds. This is really easy to clean, too!
Edit to add update - now that I have had this a few months and used it a lot, I have to reiterate how great this is! I saw a wooden one in a home store, and I picked it up to test the hand feel, and it was nowhere near as comfortable in my hand, I am so glad I found this one!

Oxo Good Grips Citrus Juicer Review

I learned about the effectiveness of this product on "America's Test Kitchen," and the product review on cooksillustrated.com in an article discussing citrus juicers and reamers. Part of the review is copied here, since it's a subscription site, I can't just link it!
"After testing nine models, I found that the better models have a pointed tip, which effectively pierces the core of the lemon and grabs hold. Without the pointed tip, the lemon slips right off the head. The second important feature is the sharpness of the ridges. Those with sharp, pointed ridges "gripped" the lemon well, making it easy to extract maximum juice with minimum effort, while those with rounded ridges caused the lemon to slide around, making for difficult juicing.
The two winners of our tests were the plastic Oxo Good Grips Citrus Juicer ($11.99) and the Fox Run Wood Lemon Reamer ($2.99). They both juiced lemons quickly and efficiently. The Oxo Citrus Juicer features a unique design with two open, ridged heads (for large and small citrus fruit) and a non-skid bowl for juice collection. The Fox Run reamer has a classic design and an especially comfortable handle."
I have found ATK/CI equipment reviews to be reliable and am ordering it on their recommendation!

Oxo Stainless Steel Strainer, Double Rod Review

Oxo Stainless Steel Strainer, Double Rod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a foodie and as such, I own quite a few strainers. This is the first Good Grips strainer I've purchased and although I love almost everything Oxo makes, I was still surprised at the size, quality and fineness of the mesh on this one.
Do your math, this is a HUGE strainer compared to most hand-held strainers, but the mesh is quite fine and yet sturdy at the same time.
It's without a doubt the best strainer I've purchased anywhere. I hung it on a hook because it's too big for my various utensil crocks, but I find myself reaching for it even for pasta, for which I'd normally use a colander.
Considering the 4 for 3 deal going on right now, it was a superb value, as well.
I intend to buy the smaller versions, as well, to replace my older strainers.
Oxo seems to make their products better and better all the time. I have yet to get a 'dud' from the Good Grips collection.

This is by far the best way to juice citrus fruits. Its especially good if you have arthritis or repetative stress injury that makes using the old fashion hand juicers harder. Of course, you could try using electric juicers, but they can be a pain to wash after your done (like any juicer). I strongly prefer this method over all that I have used.

I have bought the cheaper bottle openers and got tired of them not piercing an adequate opening and bending. I kept saying I was going to buy a good opener on Amazon.
I did, the OXO. This opener is great; it's sharp, large openings and not too big. Yeah, it cost a little more but it will be in my silverware drawer for a long long time.

OXO Good Grips Citrus Squeezer Review

OXO Good Grips Citrus Squeezer
Average Reviews:

I've used a large variety of tools over the years to juice citrus, and I was excited when I learned of this tool. Not only is it by Oxo, a leader in kitchen gadget innovations, but Cooks Illustrated also rated it as the top method for juicing limes.
I'm happy to report it does indeed juice limes very well! People without a lot of forearm/wrist strength may have to brace the bottom handle of the squeezer on something, and all the juice doesn't drain out of the squeezer until you remove the spent half-lime (it could use a few more drain holes), but it's effortless for me and I don't get juice all over my hands like when I use a reamer. For a lime squeezer, I give it 5 stars.
For a lemon squeezer, it leaves something to be desired. Working with an average supermarket lemon, it doesn't squeeze out as much juice as a reamer would (leaving some still in the lemon, wasted), and worse, squeezing hard causes lemon juice to squirt out the side for a sticky mess to clean up. Still, it is easy to use, if not very effective, so for a lemon squeezer, it gets 3 stars.
Since this is marketed as a citrus squeezer and not a lime squeezer, I averaged my two ratings to award 4 stars. If you're going to use this tool for limes and only the occasional lemon, the Oxo Citrus Squeezer is an excellent buy.
